Freewallet launches Bitcoin Gold Wallet

Freewallet, a developer of more than 20 cryptowallet apps for a variety of coins and tokens, has launched the Bitcoin Gold Wallet.

Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is a new coin that resulted from the community-driven fork at block 491407 on the Bitcoin blockchain. Freewallet was one of the first wallet developers to announce full support for the new cryptocurrency.

"That’s the second Bitcoin chain split we’ve supported," states Alvin Hagg, Freewallet co-founder. "And Freewallet managed to provide uninterrupted operations during both of them! When a new cryptocurrency is born and a new network is launched, it means there’s a great opportunity for our users to get free coins and instant profits. And Freewallet's mission is to make sure they are happy because that’s what makes us happy, too."

After the successful Bitcoin Gold network launch, BTG became available in the Multi Wallet, an innovative app by Freewallet that helps managing multiple coins and cross-exchanging them in one place. The Multi Wallet app is currently available on both, iOS and Android.

All Freewallet users who held BTC on their balances at the moment of the fork and the subsequent chain split were credited with the equivalent numbers of BTG.

In response to the growing interest of the community to the new coin, Freewallet released a full-scale Bitcoin Gold wallet within days upon adding Bitcoin Gold to the list of available coins in their Multi Wallet. The new wallet allows to safely store and conveniently transfer BTG, as well as to smoothly exchange it to and from other coins right in the app, with just a couple of taps.

The BTG wallet for Android is already present on Google Play; the version for iOS has been submitted to AppStore for review.
